Men who took a sauna 4-7 times per week were 65% less likely to get Alzheimer’s compared to men who took a sauna once a week according to a Finnish study that followed 2,315 healthy men aged 42-60 years at baseline for an average of 21 years.

The researchers analyzed data is from the Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease population-based prospective cohort study of 2,315 healthy men aged 42-60 years at baseline, with baseline examinations conducted between 1984 and 1989.
